DESCRIPTION:We are seeking people in wheelchairs and others to attend the rally and 
 trial from 9 am until the hearing is finished, likely before 12 noon. Dr. 
 Bob Segalman will generously pay each person who comes in a wheelchair $50 
 to attend the rally, and $100 if we win the case. In addition we will have 
 food for attendees, in the morning from 8:45-9:10 (coffee, fruit and 
 various breads and pastries), and light snacks when the hearing is over-- 
 to be served outside the courthouse entrance at 7th & Mission.  When people 
 arrive between 9 and 9:30 they should come to Courtroom 3 and wait for the 
 case to be called. Oral arguments will be presented and the judges will 
 either make a ruling or continue the case to a future date where, after 
 deliberations their decision will be announced. When the case has been 
 heard we will leave Courtroom 3 and proceed to outside the Courthouse at 
 7th and Mission for a Rally with speakers and music. We are inviting 
 participants to speak briefly about their experiences with either airlines 
 or other transportation situations.\nPlease let me know if you will attend 
 tomorrow and if you wish to speak. You must RSVP if you are coming in a 
 wheelchair and wish to be paid: Rally Coordinator: 510-365-1500\n\nDr. Bob 
 Segalman, a Cerebral Palsy quadriplegic, is suing an airline for repeated 
 damage to his wheelchair. Due to the damage, he fell out of his wheelchair 
 and broke his leg. He is holding the airline accountable for not properly 
 handling his wheelchair. He offered to drop the suit if Southwest Airlines 
 would agree to train employees’ on how to properly transfer wheelchairs, 
 and take other preventative actions, but Southwest Airlines refused.  
 People who use wheelchairs must be treated properly under the law. Their 
 chairs need to be handled with care, and the disabled need to be treated 
 with dignity. The policies for handling wheelchairs and their users need to 
 be enforced.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2014/11/20/18764379.php
